The weekend in Canada is coming to life. Charles Leclerc, having put aside the disappointments of the last few races, just a week after the last defeat, came in Canada with the aim of collecting as much as possible to recover that gap that saw him safely in first position at the start of the season. Detachment that started to plummet since Barcelona, and what time he sees Max Verstappen world leader, in the position occupied by Charles at the beginning of the year. The domain Red Bull can only be interrupted by a flash of the Ferrari, and he has before him, however, a delicate weekend made of strategies and choices, related to the management of the components of the Leclerc Power Unit. We can expect everything between penalties, spectacular crashes and reliability problems. So what do we choose for our training? Heart or head? Let's find out with the advice to Fanta F1.
Penalty situation at Ferrari
Charles Leclerc is already certain to leave with 10 penalty positions in the GP of Canada but for the replacement of unit. The news, which arrived in the evening after FP2, opened another scenario. Ferrari, after FP1 had already replaced other components on the Monegasque's F1-75, the last ones granted by the limit of 3 units set by the FIA: new ICE (internal combustion engine), MGU-H e MGU-K. But that's not all. Ferrari has not yet replaced the Turbo 3, as expected. Also Charles should mount the fourth unit of all the elements already replaced after FP1. All these penalties, add up would force the Monegasque to a comeback from the bottom. On the other hand, Charles could count on two fresh Power Units in the next Grands Prix, without the risk of compromising other races with further penalties.
We saw yesterday what would it entail a grid penalty from the Monegasque at Fanta F1. Of course, the F1-75 is the best on the grid, together with Red Bull. The comeback would not be impossible. Furthermore, a Safety could play in Charles' favor. Putting him in the team is a gamble, and it would mean a heart choice but in our opinion it can make a good weekend, that's why we include it in the advice to the Fanta F1.
Sainz preparing the pole?
It will be up to Sainz make big shoulders with Verstappen and Perez, to conquer Pole a Montreal. The Spaniard is still hunting for the first in his career, but so far Ferrari has only had one poleman, Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque is almost unbeatable on the flying lap and the gap with the others and his teammate is always around 3-4 tenths. Red Bull and Ferrari are once again close and without Charles around, Verstappen seems to be the candidate for pole. But there is something that could help the Spaniard, namely teamwork. Qualification is not Charles' priority at the moment, and this is confirmed by the program made by the Monegasque in Friday's free practice. With Leclerc not intending to take pole, the team could play strategy by helping Sainz with a slipstream. Also to consider the crazy variable del weather, as rain is forecast for today.
Alonso and Vettel the bets
Both thrive on old-fashioned circuits, Alpine also seems to prefer a circuit of this type and seems to demonstrate it better with Alonso rather than Ocon. Alonso and Vettel can make the difference in the midfield. After the accusations of those who already thought they were doomed and at home on the sofa with the cover, the two old lions started roaring. Sebastian then has an account opened with Canada since 2019. Betting on them al Fantasy F1 it can be a winning bet.
